                     WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals, having considered in relation to the above requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the recommendation meeting held on February 6, 2025 does find as follows:

 

FINDINGS OF FACT:

1.                     That petitioner testified that they seek the subject zoning relief to allow for the construction of a Planned Development on approximately 24.45 acres of land, and that the proposed development would include ten (10) detached dwelling units and sixty-one (61) attached dwelling units, a 14,172 square foot divisible shopping center, and two (2) place of assembly buildings that will total approximately 54,963 sq. ft., to be used for religious services, study, and education

 

2.                     That at the public hearing, petitioner amended the requested zoning relief that was originally published as an exception to increase the height from 36 feet to approximately 47 feet, to increase the height to 40 feet.                 

 

3.                     That petitioner testified that the proposed development would be serviced with water and sewer.

 

4.                     That petitioner testified that the north parcel currently contains a one-story, 10,500 square foot place of assembly building that would remain on the property and proposing a 17,900 square foot, one-story addition for education and services.

 

5.                     That petitioner testified that the commercial building would include businesses that would be intended to be utilized by the residents of the development, such as a grocery store and other local commercial uses.

 

6.                     That in supplemental documentation, petitioner indicated that the residential portion of the proposed development would be age-restricted (fifty-five years of age or older), as in accordance with the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995.

 

a.                     Furthermore, that petitioner testified the age-restricted development will lessen the impact of traffic and peak hour traffic particularly, because many of the residents will already be located within the planned development, minimizing traffic concerns.

 

7.                     That petitioner testified that the single family detached dwelling units will be approximately 2,700 sq. ft. in size, the attached two-story dwelling units will be approximately 2,100 sq. ft. in size, and that there will be twenty-nine (29) attached condominium-type units with parking underneath the condominium building.

 

8.                     That petitioner testified that they are increasing the existing parking by over 133 parking spaces, with more than three hundred (300) parking spaces throughout the proposed development.

 

9.                     That petitioner testified that a traffic study was completed by Eriksson Engineering and that no intersection improvements are proposed with the development as the there is an existing paved median on Route 83 and there would be minimal impact to the existing roadways.

 

10.                     That petitioner testified that the density of the residential portion of the development is 5.4 units per acre and that the total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the development will be 0.25, meeting the R-4 Zoning Districts FAR maximum requirement. 

 

11.                     That petitioner testified that the proposed development is designed to be a low-density development, with plenty of park land and open space.

 

12.                     That the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the petitioner has demonstrated evidence for a Conditional Use for a Planned Development in the R-4 Zoning District, seeking 10 detached and 61 attached dwelling units, 14,172 square foot divisible shopping center, and two place of assembly buildings that will total approximately 54,963 sq. ft. to be used for religious services, study, and education, with the following exception to increase the height from 36 feet to approximately 40 feet.

 

13.                     Furthermore, that the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the petitioner has demonstrated the required standards to approve a Conditional Use.         

 

STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES:

1.                     That the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that petitioner has demonstrated that the granting of the Conditional Use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the public welfare, or in conflict with the County’s comprehensive plan for development; and specifically, that the granting of the Conditional Use will not:

 

a.                     Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed development will meet the FAR of 0.25 of the R-4 Zoning District, and that with the additional open space, the proposed planned development will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent properties.

 

b.                     Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has demonstrated that they will receive all required building permits for the proposed development and that they will meet all requirements from the Tri-State Fire Protection District, and therefore, will not increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property.

 

c.                     Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed development will be consistent with the surrounding uses and will not diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County.

 

d.                     Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner has demonstrated that they have completed a traffic study by Ericksson Engineering and that the proposed development will be consistent with the surrounding uses and that there will not be an unduly increase in traffic congestion in the public streets and highways.

 

e.                     Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed development will comply with the Stormwater Ordinance and all wetland requirements and that there will not be an increase in the potential for flood damages to adjacent properties.

 

f.                     Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed development will comply with the Stormwater Ordinance and all wetland requirements, and that the proposed development will not incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue, or relief.

 

g.                     Otherwise impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of the inhabitants of DuPage County as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed development will be consistent with other developments along Route 83 and that the proposed development will be an added benefit to the surrounding area that will impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of the inhabitants of DuPage County.
